Our First Alpha was breathing heavily, and his face looked dead-white.
“She’s not going to roll over and just take it.”
He looked like fucking death, but I knew Rook. And that note in his voice was goddamn admiration.
Rook has always respected one thing and one thing only.
Power.
And Piper is the only person I’ve ever seen stand up to him like this.
He bared his teeth in a snarl. “But that Beta is going to be one sorry fucker once I get someone to open these gates.”
Teddy shook the bars, interrupting. “Piper, where are you going? Piper!”
“We’re going inside,” she called back to us. “So don’t be little perverts and mind your business.”
Oh, god, even that rich, throaty uncaring voice sends unwilling heat and lust pounding through my body.
I am pissed as hell at her, but goddamn, do I want her so badly.
I watch with a groan as she heads inside, the moonlight shifting to reveal her T-shirt riding up, showing us the long lines of her back.
I know from my school lessons that inside the sturdy building there’s a few well-stocked rooms, food, drink, and basic necessities, to keep Betas and Omegas safe in case there are feral Alphas outside the walls.
My eyes glued on the building, I settle in for a long night.
In the morning, there’ll be a guard around to check. But I’ll have to survive without her until then.
But suddenly in one room of the Enclave I see the shadows move, projected enormously big against the white curtains of the open window.
For a moment, I don’t realize what they’re doing and then it hits me like a fucking semi-truck.
Piper and this Beta jackass areheading to the bed, and I feel another raw surge of pain through my body as I see the Beta reach his puny arms down and pull Piper’s T-shirt over her long, sensual body, her nipples looking tight and taut.
CHAPTER17
Rook
Oh, fuck, this is my damn penance, isn’t it?
For being the dumbest fucking Head Alpha to ever walk the earth.
I was trying my hardest to keep upright but when that Beta’s mouth hitsmyOmega’s breast my knees give way and I sink to the ground.
I’m fucking dying
And I can see it all, my Alpha senses heightened because my wolf knows this is wrong. Knows this is our mate, our precious girl, the person we should have been cherishing more than anyone else in the world.
I feeleverything.
When he puts his mouth on her nipple and sucks, her head falling back, the pressure bursts in my nose and I feel blood on my lips.
Every time he puts his mouth on her I feel it, wrong and savage, againstmyskin. It’s like I’m getting strips of flesh flayed from my body, every inch of my skin on fire with how my Alpha senses are trying to reject the wrongness of Piper being touched by someone else.
Usually by the day after your wedding, your Omega has gone into heat and you’re already well on your way to claiming and putting your pup in her.
But not us. Because of my fucking failure to lead, we’re snarling on the other side of the fence like three feral Alphas while Piper gets pleasured by some Beta I am going to absolutely kill as soon as I can.
